The coordination tax
You attend 25 meetings a week.
How many decisions can you account for?
In a multi-department hospital, coordination that used to happen in corridors breaks down at scale. Decisions scatter across Teams calls, shared drives, email chains, and memory.
70%
of hospital leaders say poor coordination is the biggest drag on operational improvement.
The organisation has outgrown “everyone knows everyone” but hasn’t built the operational infrastructure to replace it.
NHS Providers Survey 2024
20+ hours per week
The average hospital ops director spends on coordination overhead: governance meetings, status assembly, chasing action items, reconciling conflicting departmental priorities.
Invisible drift
A surgical department changes its theatre schedule in a huddle. The bed management team doesn’t know until patient flow is disrupted. Nobody flagged it because nobody saw it.
15 departments, zero visibility
Clinical systems for medicine, rostering for nursing, spreadsheets for admin, SharePoint for governance. None of them show the ops director what was decided across all departments this week.
How In Parallel helps
From 25 meetings to one shared reality.
01
Cross-department decision capture
In Parallel joins your ops meetings, department huddles, and leadership rounds, captures every decision, owner, and deadline across medical, nursing, and admin teams. No manual minutes. No chasing.
02
Living ops plan
Your operational plan updates itself from meeting signals. When a nursing staffing decision affects the theatre schedule, it surfaces immediately, not a fortnight later in a governance meeting.
03
Initiative drift detection
Know when a department diverges from what was agreed before it becomes a cross-departmental crisis. In Parallel surfaces the gap between decisions and actions automatically.
04
Executive reporting in 30 minutes
Stop spending a full day assembling board papers from 15 different departments. Execution health data is always current because it comes from the meetings where decisions happens.
Trusted by operational teams
A multi-site hospital group cut their ops meeting time in half.
“We went from 90-minute ops meetings to 45 minutes. Not because we discuss less, because everyone already knows what was decided.”
